Definitely more romance going on in this book (love it and I know this is a YA book, but I would love a little more details, because those particular scenes have so much potential). Cardan somehow became surprisingly enjoyable as well as their relationship. Additionally, the plot is way better in comparison to the first book. Highly recommend this series for any YA reader (it was a little to innocent and childish for my spicy taste).

The first half of this book was solely character development and although I understand it is important, I would have DNFd this if I had been reading in print and not audiobook. After

Taryn’s wedding,

it picks up a lot! The last few chapters of this book had me audibly gasping in my car on the way to and from work because of how shocked I was!!! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I am so excited to read the third book!

I devoured this book. Not particularly a literary piece but an easy read, captivating story line, twists around every corner and powerful characters. I cannot wait to start the next book in the series.
